About this campground
Perched at 7,200 feet in the heart of Fishlake National Forest, Mahogany Cove Campground beckons adventurers seeking tranquility among Utah's high country. This hidden gem unfolds across a sprawling grassy meadow, where gentle breezes carry the scent of pine and juniper while the majestic Tushar Range paints an ever-changing backdrop against the sky.
Mahogany Cove Campground primarily caters to group camping, with a designated group site composed of seven individual sites. It is suitable for both RV and tent camping, though electricity, water, and sewer hookups are not available.
Weather and SeasonsFrom May through September, Mahogany Cove comes alive under clear mountain skies and pleasantly mild temperatures that make for perfect camping weather. Early season visitors might catch wildflowers dotting the meadows, while late summer brings golden grasses and crisp mornings. Outside peak season, the high elevation brings the possibility of snow flurries and mountain rains, transforming the landscape into a different kind of wilderness beauty.
ElevationAt 7,200 feet above sea level, Mahogany Cove offers a refreshing escape from summer heat. The high-altitude setting creates an ideal microclimate where warm days give way to cool, star-filled nights perfect for campfire gatherings and restful sleep under canvas.
Natural Features and SceneryNature's artistry surrounds every campsite, where ancient mahogany trees mingle with aromatic pinion, juniper, and towering ponderosa pines to create a natural cathedral of dappled shade and sunlight. The dramatic Tushar Range dominates the horizon, its peaks telling stories of volcanic origins and ancient upheavals. A short walk leads to a spectacular overlook where the full grandeur of Beaver Canyon unfolds before you, offering photographers and nature lovers an unforgettable vista.
Geological RegionMahogany Cove rests in a serene mountain meadow along the spectacular Beaver Canyon Scenic Byway, where diverse ecosystems converge in remarkable harmony. Below the campground, the life-giving Beaver River winds through the canyon, its waters having carved this landscape over millennia. The surrounding forest showcases nature's diversity with its unique blend of mahogany groves, aromatic pinion and juniper stands, and stately ponderosa pines, all framed by the volcanic peaks of the Tushar Range rising dramatically to the east.
